MNDR has just remixed Rai Knight’s “New New” in Wade and Warner’s lo-fi “4-Track” remix style. The remix was composed and recorded on 4 tracks of analog tape using Rai’s original vocal edited in ProTools. Wade’s Yamaha RX5 drum machine provided the back beat and was layered with spring reverb and delay directly to tape. Then synths were overdubbed (Voyager and SE-1) through UA 2-610’s and a vintage Omnipressor.
The remix was mixed at WonderSound by Emmett Farley.

A track sheet from the session is here:
After the devastating earthquake in Japan, WonderSound friends The Freelance Whales asked us to participate in a benefit EP to help Japan rebuild. We remixed “Hannah” and here’s how we did it.
The remix was programmed primarily on a Roland Jupiter 6 analog synth tracked through a Universal Audio 2-610 and Distressor. I cut up the original drums from the session, re-amped them, and layered them with 12 bit drum samples from my Yamaha RX5 drum machine. The concept was to build slowly, drop everything out and then experience a brain overload where we throw everything at it. With a stunning mix from studio engineer Emmett Farley, the remix of the popular single “Hannah” was born.
